My CFO Mate
The CFO Support You Need, From a Mate You Trust
Running a business isn’t just about numbers. It’s about people, pressure, decisions, and staying in control as you grow. That’s why most SME owners don’t need a corporate-style CFO — they need a trusted partner who understands their world and helps them move forward with confidence.
That’s what My CFO Mate is all about — practical financial support, genuine partnership, and clear advice without the complexity.
Why I Started My CFO Mate
After years in senior finance roles, I kept seeing the same thing: SME owners were under pressure and often making big decisions without the financial clarity or support they deserved. They didn’t need more complexity or another distant consultant. They needed someone in their corner — a trusted CFO mate who could simplify the numbers, bring calm to the chaos, and genuinely care about the business. I started My CFO Mate to: make the numbers easier to understand help owners plan ahead with confidence support better business decisions build genuine long-term partnerships To me, every good business deserves practical, honest financial support from someone genuinely invested in helping it grow. My CFO Mate is built on a simple belief: strong businesses are built on strong relationships. I’m here to bring clarity, confidence, and practical financial leadership when you need it most.
My Approach.
I believe the best financial support is built on trust, not just spreadsheets.
Here’s what you can expect when we work together:
- Straightforward conversations — clear, practical, and without judgement
- Consistency — regular touchpoints and proactive support
- Clarity — simple, practical insights you can act on
- Partnership — I work with you, not above you
- Practical thinking — commercial, grounded, and built for growing businesses
My goal is simple: to help you understand your numbers, make better decisions, and build a stronger business.
My Experience
I bring more than 20 years of senior finance experience across industries including construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, recycling, energy, plant and labour hire, road transport and logistics, and health insurance. That means I understand both the numbers and the day-to-day pressures that come with running and growing a business.
Over the years, I’ve helped businesses improve cashflow, strengthen reporting, manage growth, support major decisions, and build more confidence around their finances. I’ve also led transformation projects, supported acquisitions, worked closely with boards and leadership teams, and helped businesses put the right financial foundations in place for their next stage of growth.
What matters most for my clients is not the job titles on my CV — it’s what that experience helps me do for your business today. As your Fractional CFO, I bring practical commercial insight, calm support, and a clear financial lens to help you make better decisions, avoid costly blind spots, and move forward with more clarity and control.
